Windows 7: BSOD after playing BF3, error 124

First I would just like to explain what has happened in the past. My computer was overclocked to 3.4GHz and so was my gpu. It was an otherwise stable system but it would crash whilst I was playing Mafia II, Battlefield BC2 and Battlefield 3. What would happen is the game would sometimes crash to desktop with graphical glitches on pretty much everything or it would just blue screen and restart without actually displaying the blue screen.

I tried many solutions I found online, even a clean install but none worked until I found a post on another forum that suggested a voltage in the bios was too high. I then reset the bios by taking out the battery and replacing it and booted up with everything set to auto. From what I would tell this has resolved my initial problem as I would play Mafia 2 all day and BF:BC2 too and it would not crash.

I have not played BF3 for a while but I decided I wanted to play a few games last night, I ended up playing for about an hour maximum and I then quit the game. About 30 seconds after I quit the game my computer crashed and I was greeted with the loud kind of buzzing noise like the tripods make on war of the worlds. I rebooted to see the screen that tells you your computer has crashed and it displayed the error code 124. I am not sure if this crash is related to BF3 or something else but I would much appreciate it if you can help me get to the bottom of this.

Run the boot version of Memtest86+ paying close attention to Parts 2 and 3 of the tutorial. Also, in case Memtest86+ misses anything and comes up with no errors, run the extended version of the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool for at least five passes. These you may want to run overnight since they take a long time to complete (run them an hour before bed each of the next two nights and check before going to sleep that they are still running).

If you swap any memory components, follow these steps for ESD safety:

Shut down and turn off your computer.

Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)

Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.

Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working.

Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.

I have run Prime95 and furmark previously and I know my hardware is not getting too hot. IIRC my gpu will max out in the high 60s (°C) and the cpu will get up to reach somewhere around 50°C as I have an aftermarket HSF.

I am currently running Memtest now, I will get back to you with the results after a few runs

Also is it alright to run memtest with both sticks of ram in? I know you try them one at a time when searching for a faulty stick so I assumed it is fine to leave them all in for this.
